The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has decried the “deliberate suppression” of Nigerian workers’ rights, well-being and opportunities.

In a statement by its national publicity secretary, Debo Ologunagba, on Monday, the party commended Nigerian workers for their resilience, loyalty and patriotism as they celebrated the 2023 Workers’ Day.

The opposition party, however, urged Nigerian workers to reinforce their resistance against anti-democratic forces seeking to take control of the nation.

The PDP advised Nigerian workers to use their strength and position to protect and defend Nigeria’s constitutional democracy from political manipulators.

It advised them to remain optimistic in the hope that the judiciary will right the wrongs meted on the nation for Nigeria to return to peace, political stability and economic prosperity.

“Our party again salutes Nigerian workers and wishes them a happy Workers’ Day celebration,” said the statement, pledging that the PDP would continue to recognise the devotion of Nigerian workers as real drivers of national life.

The statement assured the workers that the PDP would continue its effort to retrieve its mandate at the election tribunal.
